Reflexology is based on the principle that all areas and organs of your body are mapped onto your feet. Congestion or tension in a part of the foot may "mirror" congestion or tension in the corresponding body part.
Similar to acupressure principles, reflexology works with the body's energy flow to stimulate self-healing and maintain balance in physical function. The feet contain over 7000 nerve endings and over one quarter of the body's bones. Our feet are also a great indicator of our toxicity levels, as toxins are stored in our lower extremities away from our major organs. Reflexology helps to break up toxins and encourages the body to release them.
Reflexology is used to reduce pain, increase relaxation, and stimulate circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids. It is especially useful in stress-related illness and emotional disorders. Reflexology is also convenient in cases where an area of the body is traumatized or diseased to the extent that direct manipulation is not appropriate.
